Multi-Initialization Graph Meta-Learning for Node Classification

Meta-learning aims to acquire common knowledge from a large amount of similar tasks and then adapts to unseen tasks within few gradient updates. Existing graph meta-learning algorithms show appealing performance in a variety of domains such as node classification and link prediction. These methods find a single common initialization for entire tasks and ignore the diversity of task distributions, which might be insufficient for multi-modal tasks. Recent approaches adopt modulation network to generate task-specific parameters for further achieving multiple initializations, which shows excellent performance for multi-modal image classification. However, different from image classification, how to design an effective modulation network to handle graph-structure dataset is still challenging. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Initialization Graph Meta-Learning (MI-GML) network for graph node classification, mainly consisting of local and global modulation neworks and meta learner. In terms of modulation network, we exploit local and global graph structure information to extract task-specific modulation parameters. On this basis, the meta learner is further modulated by the corresponding modulation parameter to produce task-specific representation for node classification. Experimental results on three graph-structure datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of MI-GML in few-shot node classification tasks.
